Brompton & Hans Town

The Brompton & Hans Town electoral ward sits in the western core of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in central London, England. It brings together the old village feel of Brompton - with landmarks such as Brompton Cemetery and the medical cluster around the Royal Brompton Hospital - and the early 19th‑century development of Hans Town, largely laid out by Thomas Cubitt and historically linked to Sir Hans Sloane, which explains the area's terraces and garden squares.

Geographically and culturally the ward sits between the museum and shopping hubs of South Kensington and Knightsbridge, with luxury retail on Sloane Street, numerous private schools, embassies and a strong conservation presence. It is one of the borough’s more affluent pockets, notable for high property values and a mix of long‑standing local life alongside international residents and steady tourist activity.
